ALBERT KING NOT IMPROVING.

Reporter Victim of Saloonkeeper

Thug in Grave Condition.

The condition of Albert H. King, the Journal reporter, who suffered severe injuries by the beating and kicking Jack Gallagher gave him last Wednesday afternoon, is very little improved. There is a slight improvement in the injuries to the face and eye. Hot applications are constantly applied to the right cheek, which was badly bruised. Mr. King's back is still very weak and he is unable to use his legs. He has lost control of his legs, besides being too weak to stand upon them. He has not been able to partake of any solid food since Gallagher's attack on him. His teeth were loosened by being kicked several times in the mouth.
